The Illusion of Truth: Who Decides What’s Real?

We live in a world that forces everything into opposites:

  • Right vs. Wrong
  • Good vs. Evil
  • Truth vs. Lies
  • Us vs. Them

Truth feels like it should be solid. But it isn’t. Because truth is just perception.

Two people can stand in the same room, experience the same event, and come away with completely different truths. One might see oppression while the other sees progress.

If truth is shaped by perspective, then what makes a lie? If enough people believe a lie, doesn’t it become truth? And if truth is subjective, then how do we know what’s actually real?

We don’t. Because reality isn’t about what’s real—it’s about what we accept as real.

We’re taught that good and evil are absolute. That some things are always right and others are always wrong.

But if that were true, why do moral codes change across time and cultures?

  • Once, it was legal to own people.
  • Once, women weren’t allowed to vote.
  • Once, war crimes were justified in the name of conquest.

And the people enforcing those horrors? They thought they were right.

So if morality is universal, why does it evolve?

Because morality isn’t truth—it’s bias. It’s shaped by culture, power, history, and whoever gets to define what’s acceptable.

That doesn’t mean morality is meaningless. But it does mean we need to question who decides what’s “right” and “wrong”.

Because if morality is just a reflection of collective bias, then who actually decides what’s acceptable?

The reason we never move past oppression, conflict, and division is because people thrive on power, control, and seek to dominate one side to be superior.

The Line That Can’t Be Crossed: When Wrong Is Just Wrong

Yes, truth and morality are often shaped by perception. But there are certain actions that are not up for debate.

There are acts that are not just “evil” but distortions—things that twist existence into suffering, that strip people of their autonomy, their safety, their very right to exist in peace.

  • Rape.
  • Murder.
  • Theft.
  • Exploitation.
  • Psychological Manipulation.
  • Systematic oppression.
  • Acts Of Targeted Violence.

These things don’t just exist on the spectrum of morality—they are breaches of the natural order. They are violations of life itself.

This means when we see true evil, we dismantle it with precision.

Because true justice isn’t about revenge—it’s about restoration. It’s about ending the cycle of harm, not adding to it.

If we never learn from our past mistakes, we’ll just keep repeating them.
